Life, as we know it, is a ceaseless fight. It is a life that has highs and lows like a roller-coaster ride of happiness and sorrow. The slogan "Life is a never-ending battle" describes our daily lives accurately. Every day we encounter new challenges, that test us at different levels – but in the fight, we learn and become better people for it, things to overcome and yet it gives us strength – so that after overcoming all this hardship, eventually discovering our reason-for-being in life. We can see what the true meaning of life means for each person individually!

A professional challenge that I currently have is the need to maintain a greater balance between my workplace obligation and private life. It is a story that we share with so many of our friends and colleagues in modern times. I address this challenge based on the principle of selection and time optimization. In particular, I have made practical measures to make sure that my working life and leisure is allocated proper time. Specific working hours are defined, and generally I work rotating shifts – self-refreshing breaks get employed.

As per my experience, challenges can be overcome through resilience and determination. I advocate for positive thinking and willpower. I remember that every adversary is a chance for development. I proceed with caution, handling each step as it comes before me rather than stressing over the entire mountain that lies ahead.

We all know, when we struggle, the support of our loved ones is important. Those loved one’s support is key in our battles Their support and belief in our ability to succeed give us the courage to strive on. Also, I am blessed to have a strong circle that does not leave me alone with my struggles but when necessary do provide assistance and advice. I have friends and family who do not give up on me during hard times, providing their services when help is required.

It is difficult to keep up one’s enthusiasm and motivation while facing various challenges such as life itself. However, I subscribe to the philosophy of ‘Carpe Diem’ – enjoy life while you can. [Carpe Diem – A Latin phrase that means "seize the day" and it suggests that individuals should live in the present moment and enjoy life while they can.] I always try my best to make my day more enjoyable even if I go through the hard times.

To this end, I remain committed to my journey by tailoring all of my actions towards adherence with values and goals. I remember my milestones, however small and perseverance that is powering my progress. I reiterate my successes, regardless of the scale at hand and use them as power to push on.
